BUMPER STICKER OF THE WEEK:
Me, My Lawyer's In Jail!
Don't Hit
The Great Motorcycle Helmet Controversy . . .
Do you really need a helmet? Here's Dr. Eugene
Alvarez' "scientific" proof. "Just find a blunt ins-
trument," he says, "and hit yourself on the head.
When you wake up, repeat the procedure with
your motorcycle helmet on. The point should be
clear enough."
^What's the most dangerous country to drive
through? Could be Brazil, though statistics don't
tell the whole story. Brazil, with a population of
less than 80 million, has over 20,000 traffic fatali-
ties a year. That's 25.9 deaths for every 10,000
vehicles on the road . . . eight times the U.S. rate
of 3.3 deaths per 10,000 vehicles. A typical Euro-
pean country, France, has a rate of 7.5 per 10,000.
Check your brake fluid! Bet brake fluid is some-
thing you never think about . . . unless your
brakes suddenly don't work one day on the free-
way. A recent study quoted in Motor Trend
Magazine revealed that over seventy percent of
the cars tested were either low on brake fluid or
had fluid so old it wasn't fully effective. Some ex-
perts insist brake fluid should be changed at least
once a year under normal driving conditions.
BELIEVE IT OR NOTI Police in Lebanon have
asked camel herders to use fluorescent paint on
their camels humps in order to reduce the number
of car versus camel accidents at night . . . Now if
Americans could just persuade kids to paint
themselves orange before riding bikes ...
Reader's Opinion Dept. J.R. of Houston, sends
this impassioned comment: ". . . automobile
drivers in Texas are careless, unlearned, and dis-
respectful to others, and those in Houston are the
worst of all. It is a common occurance to see
someone turn right from a center or left lane, and
vice versa ... on the freeway, people weave from
one lane to another, not being abfe to tolerate any
car in front of them . . . More people should be
encouraged to take Defensive Driving courses and
heed what is taught. Especially in Houston."

Wet Weather Driving Tips
Rains bring with them
especially hazardous highway
conditions. Driving through
heavy rain or standing water
can result in engine drown-
out, brake failure and loss
of vehicle control, warns
the Safe Driving Bureau
of Budget Rent a Car
Corporation.
V.

The Budget Safe Driving
Bureau suggests driving
through water puddles slowly.
Speeding causes water to
splash into the engine, and
the car may stall. If this
happens, try to coast to the
side of the road and wait for
the engine to dry out. Turn
on the car's emergency flash-
ing lights to alert other autos
of your location.
The Bureau also advises
lightly applying the brakes
after driving through deep
water. This dries them out
and assures a safe stop.
Another hazard of driving
too fast in rainy conditions is
hydroplaning —when the car
skims over the water, losing
road contact and causing it to
go out of control. Take your
foot off of the accelerator so
that your tires can regain
traction.
Finally, the Bureau advises,
if you can't judge how deep
the water on the highway is,
don't cross at all. The U.S.
Department of Transporta-
tion says that every year
people are drowned trying to
drive across flooded roads.
4 AHA ! J nW/„ ^
A physician once discovered
a way of pinning down an
ailment called iridiagnosis. He
swore he could tell the afflic-
tion by the appearance of
the iris of the patient's eyes.

THEN: Back in 1744 when
the initial golfing code was
drawn up by the Honorable
Company of Edinburgh
Golfers in Edinburgh, Scot-
land, putting greens were far
from being impeccably
groomed. The ball was teed
on a little mound built from
dirt scooped out of the hole.
* * *
NOW: Today most putting
greens are beautiful and
smooth. The United States
Golf Association (USGA) is
constantly striving to improve
fairways and putting greens.
The USGA sponsors univer-
sity research to develop bet-
ter turfgrasses. It also sends
experts to member clubs sub-
scribing to its Turfgrass Ser-
vice. The visits cover golf
course maintenance, includ-
ing soil testing, turf culture,
seed, fertilizer, watering, and
control of pests, diseases and
weeds.
